Marathon des Sables - 250K Crossing the Sahara - 6 to 16 April 2018 (Applications opened)


One of the hardest challenges in the world: MARATHON DES SABLES

Would you pay thousands of dollars to spend seven days running -or just walking- under the scorching sun of the Sahara Desert, traversing shifting sand dunes and punishing rocky plateaus for more than 250 kilometers, with all your food and kit affixed to your back?




It may sound like insanity, but it's exactly what daring men and women of all ages have chosen to do by taking part in the iconic Marathon des Sables (MDS).

Known as the world's toughest footrace, over a week, the grueling adventure will challenge participants -the oldest aged 76- to test their bodies and minds as they take on whipping sandstorms and blazing temperatures of up to 50ºC in their epic journey across the desert.

To toughen the ordeal, competitors are required to carry all their equipment for the duration of the ultra-marathon, from food and sleeping gear to an anti-venom pump and glow sticks. Three runners have died in the 31 years the race has been taking place.

"Some runners come here to push back their limits and brave the extreme to write their tale," says Frenchman Patrick Bauer, who founded the race in the mid-1980's.

Marathon des Sables 2018
"For a lot of participants, the Marathon des Sables is an opportunity to break with everyday life and feel a sense of timelessness. There is even a spiritual dimension, a quest for answers to what are at times very personal questions," he adds. "The desert magnifies the soul."




MDS is organized by ATLANTIDE ORGANISATION Internationale. The exact route for the one week long event, which costs more than U$D 4,000 to enter, changes slightly every year but racers have to complete the equivalent of six marathons over six stages, including a 80 km stage to be held partly during the night and within a maximum authorized time of 34 hours.

Runners are provided with just their water supply and a tent to sleep in at night. Many of them will have a unique chance for seeing the most clear skies at night ever.

They're also guaranteed spectacular views and stunning landscapes... as well as sore muscles, blisters on their feet and the inevitable moments of agonizing despair as they battle with weariness and dehydration whilst snaking their way past rolling dunes, steep-sided uplands, dried-up lakes and abandoned settlements in the baking heat.

"It's the toughest race I've ever done," says British ultra-running champion Jen Salter, who's competed at the MDS four times so far.

"That's a combination of having to carry, obviously, quite a lot of weight on your back, the temperature and the terrain. Some of the sand dunes, their stretches are really quite long. It's just unlike anything you can really prepare for or train for in another country," she adds.

'La crème de la crème'
Yet despite such hostile conditions, the race's popularity grows year after year; due to high interest, competitors have to apply to enter MDS several years in advance.

Currently in its 28th consecutive year, the roots of the MDS can be traced back to 1984, when Bauer decided to embark on a self-sufficient journey across the Algerian desert on foot, covering a distance of 350 kilometers over 12 days.

That expedition had a major influence on the adventurous Frenchman, who realized that other people would be interested in taking on similar challenges.

So in 1986 Bauer returned to Africa to organize the very first edition of the ultra marathon, completed that year by 23 pioneering runners. Twenty-eight years and more than 12,000 participants later, the MDS has grown to become a major endurance event whose model has been copied by several other races.

It's "la crème de la crème," says Salter. "There are so many multi-stage races these days, but the MDS is definitely the one that sets a bar for others to try to live up to," she adds. "The organization that goes into it is quite remarkable."

Indeed, putting the race together requires months of preparations and a plethora of resources: 120,000 liters of mineral water, 6.5 kilometers of Elastoplast, 400 support staff, 270 berber and Saharan tents, 100 all-terrain vehicles, 52 medical staff, 23 buses, 19,000 compresses and 6,000 painkillers.
In addition, the organizers also have two helicopters, one Cessna plane and six commercial planes at their disposal.

There is something magic inside the marathon because everybody is the same level and with '1,300 people, there are 1,300 stories'

So, what is it that's attracting people from across the world to the vast unforgiving sands of the Sahara, turning the MDS into such a big event?
Organizers say it is the tantalizing cocktail of testing one's limits and achieving the unattainable, helped by the haunting surroundings of the desert, which have shrouded the MDS with a veil of mystique over the years, making it appeal to all kinds of thrill seekers.

For experienced ultra-runners the challenge of self-sufficient running in the extreme heat of the Sahara is too good to ignore. But the race's extraordinary concept is also a major draw for anyone with an audacious spirit.

Over the years, a diverse caravan of novice runners, amateur athletes, enthusiastic 16-year-olds, spry septuagenarians and even visually impaired and partially paralyzed people have all converged on the MDS to test their limits, mark an occasion or escape briefly from their regular lives.
"Of the thousands people in the race, you can be sure there are thousands stories" says Olivier Sepulchre, member of the MDS organizing team.

He adds that more than just an endurance event, the race often becomes a breeding ground for lifelong friendships amongst runners.

"There is something magic inside the marathon because everybody is the same level," says Sepulchre. "You can be a good runner, a bad runner ... you can be the most rich, or the most poor guy, At he desert you are in the same level and that's something unique".

Salter agrees. "The running is obviously amazing but a large part of it is also the camaraderie you have with your tent mates. You will share a tent with the same people for a week and it's really nice helping each other through."

8K Corrida de la Florida - Sábado 1º de Abril de 2017



DENOMINACIÓN:
8K San Fernando de la Florida
17ma. Edición




FECHA:
Sábado 1º de Abril de 2017

HORA:
17:00

8K de Florida - Edición 2017
MODALIDAD:
Carrera de calle

LARGADA:
A 200 metros de Ruta 5 y Ruta 56 (Parque Robaina)

LLEGADA:
En la base de la Piedra Alta, (distante 800 metros de la largada).

DISTANCIAS:
8K
Participativa para menores de 13 años: 2K.

RECORRIDO:
El recorrido tradicional parte cruzando el puente metálico de Ruta 56 para tomar por Aparicio Saravia, Acuña de Figueroa, Atanasio Sierra, Avda. Artigas, Avda. Gugliemetti, Faustino López, Ursino Barreiro, Alejandro Gallinal, Juan Cardozo, Independencia hasta el Estadio Campeones Olímpicos, Avda. Zelmar Michelini, Calleros, 18 de Julio, Aparicio Saravia e ingreso al Prado de la Piedra Alta por un recorrido que conduce a la Costanera del Río.

Sin embargo, por obras que se están realizando en algunas calles, el trayecto de la edición 2017 será diferente; se mantendrá en su mayoría, pero habrá tramos que cambiarán.

Esta carrera no se suspende ante eventuales crecientes del Río Santa Lucía Chico, ya que para el caso está previsto un circuito alternativo que aunque nunca debió ser utilizado modificaría el final llevándolo al punto de largada, volviendo a cruzar el puente metálico, casi sin modificar la longitud del trayecto.

Los 8K de Florida se han consolidado y convertido en una competencia tradicional dentro del calendario uruguayo. Sin embargo este año se realiza un experimento que juzgamos puede no dar los resultados deseados, llevando la prueba por vez primera a un sábado, a la caída de la tarde.

Este evento independiente se realiza y conserva su circuito incambiado (salvo detalles menores) desde el año 2002.

Lo recaudado favorece a asociaciones civiles locales de larga trayectoria, este año el 50% será volcado a la Fundación Doctor Perez Scremini y al Hogar de Ancianos de Sarandi Grande.

Calendario Marciano - Hasta Para Correr Debajo del Agua


Calendario Semanal de Run Uruguay


Calendario Marciano porque se publica los MARTES y además a veces es raro. ¿Ta?
Y "¿Ta?" porque es para todos pero Made in Uruguay.

Rapidito otra vez, 12 opciones en las que incluimos la posibilidad de que corras, te arrastres o camines 3 kilómetros debajo del agua. ¿No entiendes nada? Pasamos a contarte.




SÁBADO: Este fin de semana por amplia trayectoria se destacan los 8K de Florida, que desde 2001 no han fallado nunca. Desafiante circuito urbano tremendamente técnico, muy quebrado en su geografía. Si lo conoces, no hay nada que explicarte. Si no lo conoces, disfruta del cruce sobre el Puente de Metal. No solo por el paisaje, sino porque será lo único plano que encuentres en 8000 metros muy técnicos que te van a marear de subir y bajar. Te sugerimos vestir la remera del evento ya que es una carrera a total beneficio de entidades sociales departamentales.

SÁBADO: Si estás en el círculo de los Ultra Dementes, Cabo Polonio te reta a 60K. Contagioso. Cada vez tenemos más Ultra Pruebas. Recuerden no desgastarse excesivamente.

SÁBADO: Trajimos muchas carreras para damas, ahora traemos el segundo campeonato para damas del país. En Maldonado, Aroma de Mujer, 2da. Edición, con clasificación directa a San Fernando 2018. Todas las carreras son dentro del Municipio de San Carlos.

SÁBADO GRATIS PARA DAMAS: en Carmelo.

SÁBADO RÚSTICO, en el Parque de Pando.

SÁBADO, sin hora de largada. Hemos publicado el video promocional, les hemos dado todos los datos, pero el Municipio de Río Branco no nos ha contestado a que hora se larga. Gustosos recibiremos el auxilio de algún lector fronterizo que nos aporte cuál será la hora de la tarde elegida.




Vamos ahora al DOMINGO, y vamos a incluir 10K de Chocolate, 10K por abajo del agua y 2 carreras en Rocha.

La única del fin de semana en Montevideo, Por el Autismo, en el ex-Museo Oceanográfico.

Con un alimento no perecedero, corres 4K en El Dorado de Canelones.

Rocha te sirve carreras en Lascano y muy cerca de la capital, en Escuela La Pantanosa, en plena sierra.

LA CHOCOLATERA: En Melo, 10K (nos preguntan si son kilómetros o kilogramos) de chocolate. Pascuas se adelanta y reparte chocolates para todos los corredores a precio muy módico, como nos gustaría ver por todo el país.

LA SUMERGIBLE: Y de la hermana Argentina, no lejos de la frontera, traemos al menú algo que te puede interesar ya sea para ahora o para agendar a futuro: 10K entre Santa Fé y Paraná por debajo del agua, atravesando el Túnel Subfluvial. Ideal para litoraleños que este finde tengan la libreta vacía.

De modo que si es por distancias, no hay excusas: 4K, 5K, 7K, 8K, 10K, 11K, 21K, 42K y 60K.

¿Cuál es tu preferencia?

INFORMACIÓN RELACIONADA CON EL PASO DE FRONTERA. MIGRACIONES
Todos los corredores deberán verificar la documentación necesaria para realizar el cruce de la frontera en las páginas electrónicas de las autoridades migratorias del país de procedencia.
El Comité Organizador entregará a las autoridades del paso de frontera, con anterioridad al día de la carrera, un listado completo con nombre, documento de identidad y otros datos de cada uno de los competidores, los cuales surgirán de la ficha de inscripción. Por tal razón, es muy importante que la información que nos proporcionen sea la correcta, evitando así inconvenientes y demoras al momento de cruzar el paso de frontera.
Para los corredores provenientes del territorio uruguayo, el trámite será realizado por el Comité Organizador con la información que se le solicita en el momento de inscripción.
Los corredores provenientes del territorio argentino deberán realizar los trámites migratorios del cruce de la frontera personalmente y antes de la hora prevista para la largada, previendo un tiempo suficiente para cumplirlos adecuadamente. Las autoridades migratorias dispondrán de un listado completo de los corredores con sus datos personales; por lo tanto, si la documentación coincide con la del listado, el trámite será rápido.
Las autoridades migratorias habilitarán un carril especial para competidores, familiares y acompañantes, pero en el caso de los familiares y acompañantes, el trámite será más lento porque las autoridades deberán registrar los nombres y documentos de cada una de las personas que cruzan la frontera.
Si el grupo familiar proveniente de la República Argentina tiene previsto pasar la frontera, por favor, antes de viajar, verificar la documentación necesaria, en especial los casos de menores, en la Dirección de Migraciones de ambos países
